Monday, already???

Hello everybody!


I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We made the most of the wonderful weather and enjoyed a good inch-ish of rain last night.




Today on my design wall I have some cubes I've been working with.  I'm toying with the idea of working with this illusion a bit more and making a wall hanging out of it.  I like the way the stripes play into the cubes.  We'll see where it goes!  I must say that I'm very proud for teaching myself to make "Y" seams.  I went into a panic when it came time to sew my diamonds together... "I don't know how to make "y" seams".  I calmed down and figured it out.  I'm not sure however how I'll do when it comes to sewing them all together.  I may have to resort to taking them apart and doing the strip method... we'll see.


This week, while I wait on my fabric from P&B to arrive I'm going to be working on a last minute Mother's Day quilt that is going to be so sweet!  


Have a great day, everybody!

  5. No need to take them apart. Just sew them together in diagonal rows using that Y-seam technique you figured out. You can do it!
